What I hated and loved about 2010

Admittedly, one of my hardest years ever, and that in reasonably well health (after all), and one of the years I really liker to vent about.

Of 2010 I hated:

- not being able to confront my rent every month, for lack of paid work

- having worked and not getting paid though the ppl I worked for got money and I dont

- having had to live 6 month without a roof and the impact it did (rain) to my house

- not having the money to re-furbish my house to a commonly accepted living standard, not having slept in my own bed for a year

- Having had to walk to work 16 km (and return) twice weekly for 5 month because I had no car nor money for the bus

- not having had my boat (refurbished) in the water

- having sold my boat to people that did not pay the material I used to repair it in their name

- having for the first time felt the impotence of not being able to do something for a real good friend

- not being able to take my revenges where I felt I should

- finding that 80% of our Island politicians went to jail, replaced by the ones whom they could not prove yet to have put their fingers into the mass

- having been fined 1.500 Euros for writing a website in Spanish in Spain (actually, for *only* iriting it in Spanish, and not in Catalan also)

- having found out that we Socialists have too much Messianism in us and hence tend to intrude dictatorially into peoples private lives organization


What I loved about 2010:

- The help I have recieved from so many sides in matters of stuff, money, opportunities and caring/soothing input.

- on the same line, having found out there are some real friends out there!

- Having re-discovered that -yes! - family exists even of us foreigners!

- Having realized there are people that are worse off than me and finding I could do something about it.

- Having found a sensible and commodate way to live from 100 Euros a month (after rent, as a smoker and a drinker)

- Great soccer winning the WC and the league!

- not being able to take my revenges where I felt I should

Hating:

- That i did not have much free time for my friends
- The situation in my country

Loving:
